Once the mixture has come together and the cornmeal is thoroughly combined, reduce the heat to low and cover.

If at any time the polenta looks parched, dry or too thick, add in some extra chicken stock cup at a time. After 30 minutes, stir in the butter, cheese, salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the polenta into bowls, jars or cups.

Food Trivia

A survey showed 29% of adults say they have been splashed or scalded by hot drinks while dunking biscuits.

Food Joke

Two little kids, aged six and eight, decide it's time to learn how to swear. So, the eight-year-old says to the six-year-old, "Okay, you say `ass' and I'll say `hell'". All excited about their plan, they troop downstairs, where their mother asks them what they'd like for breakfast. "Aw, hell," says the eight-year-old, "gimme some Cheerios." His mother backhands him off the stool, sending him bawling out of the room, and turns to the younger brother. "What'll you have?" "I dunno," quavers the six-year-old, "but you can bet your ass it ain't gonna be Cheerios."
